Just went to checkout from the higher bridge where should I go for the birds. It was high tide hence I expected some birds towards the banks. But there I saw a small bet / Island full of birds. <br />
<br />
I wish I had a boat as from any point getting a click of these was 300m and I found the bridge itself as the best place. <br />

These pics are Straight out of camera at 300mm 20mpx <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is one of the cheapest available 300mm zoom. Many people confuses reviews of SP70-300VCUSD (Model A005) which is costlier and faster autofocus with this one and regret.<br />
<br />
Main reason I bought this lens was taking some bird pics, understand and learn to use DSLR (DSLT). Hence getting additional
range at minimal cost was clear deciding factor. I selected this lens over a versatile 18-200 for any longer range is
an advantage for birding. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since I use sony with Inbody SteadyShot lens stabilization was not needed. Combining this lens with a 20mpx A58
I am able to spot birds at quite a distance. (Spotting pics might not be a good photographs since they
are cropped too much) </div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Sharpness: </h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Performance till now is it is sharp in good light condition and satisfactory for my requirement at
f/6.3 to f/11 range. Though as mentioned on sites like SLRGear that at 300mm it is softer <a href="http://yndpics.blogspot.in/search/label/tamy70300" target="_blank">here are my results </a>for anyone to judge its sharpness.<br />
<br />
I suggest you should judge the sharpness only with stand mounted shots while most of these are handheld. My suggested settings are using F6.3 to F11. </div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Autofucus: </h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Autofocus is slower as compared sony SAM lens but really did not had much issue adjusting
with it (As if I had an option!). In low light my cam hunts for focus it might be camera issue. However
the focus accuracy is spot on. Also once focused focus tracking is commendable.<br />
<br />
Many might feel that slower AF is a big concern but I was able to click good
amount of<a href="http://yndpics.blogspot.in/search/label/BIF" target="_blank"> BIFs with this lens</a>. </div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Macro:</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Macro mode (mode works between 180 and 300)
does not give THE 1:1 macro but is useful (1:2) as it reduces the focus distance. With
180 to 300mm you are at a reasonable distance from the subject also
I use it handheld so if it were 1:1 I might not be able to use it this effectively
considering even smaller DOF.
I could use this mode for smaller object at close distance. Not the REAL macro but<a href="http://yndpics.blogspot.in/search/label/macro" target="_blank"> result are here</a> for
you to evaluate.<br />
<br />
I also used this mode for creative shorter distance shots.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Portrait: </h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though 35/50mm are real portrait lens. I like to shoot portrait from this lens at 150~180mm as it creates
a better isolation from background. Some portraits from this lens are here. </div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Birds & BIFs: </h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last but not the least, THIS was main purpose for having a 300mm. After I got hang of steadying my hands
while clicking images started comming out sharp. There are <a href="http://yndpics.blogspot.in/search/label/Birds" target="_blank">many clicks</a> you can review for this use case. </div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Landscape: </h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Being longish zoom this is not a very usefull landscape lens. I clicked few while it is mounted. I like to
take sunset with this. Also at f11/f16 larger DOF gives good sharpness in the photograph. Being
a Zoom is its real limitation for this use case.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If on a tight budget and desperately in need of longer range this lens will not disappoint you. All in all this
is a good value for money.</div>
</div>
